Former Gov. Paul Cellucci, who served as governor and lieutenant governor of Massachusetts, endorsed Sen. Scott Brown for U.S. Senate on Wednesday.
U.S. Sen. Scott Brown added another former governor to his list of supporters on Wedneday as he seeks relection. This time it is former Governor Paul Cellucci. Brown faces Harvard University law professor Elizabeth Brown in the race for one of the state's two Senate seats. Cellucci served as lieutenant governor in Massachusetts under Gov. Bill Weld from 1991-1997, then moved on to governor from 1997 to 2001. Brown picked up an endorsement from former Governor Weld a few weeks ago. Cellucci said in a video released by the Brown campaign that his support comes from Brown's stance as "moderate on social issues and conservative on fiscal issues," and his "record of bipartisanship." "I would say we need more people, desperately need more …

A New York woman was convicted in federal court on Friday for sending four threatening letters to several people, including Sen. Scott Brown and Attorney General Martha Coakley.
A New York woman faces up to 10 years in jail for sending U.S. Sen. Scott Brown and several others threatening letters in the mail, according to the Boston divison of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Brown and Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley that included an unknown white powder. Cicora also sent a threatening letter to the Franklin County House of Correction in Greenfield, N.Y.

The two candidates for the U.S. Senate seat from Massachusetts faced off in their first live debate on Thursday night.
Stark differences came out early and often between U.S. Senate candidates Elizabeth Warren and Scott Brown in their first debate, with disagreements on everything from tax policy and job creation to women's rights. Over and over during the Thursday debate at the WBZ-TV studios in Brighton, Warren chose to bring up Brown's voting record, and Brown chose to point out that Warren's plan would raise taxes on everyone and stifle job creation. "He has said he will defend the top 2 percent and the top 3 percent...and will hold the other 98 percent of families hostage," Warren said, referencing Brown's position against extending the Bush-era tax cuts unless it also contained cuts for the country's top earners. Brown countered by noting that …

Trailing in the latest polls, Elizabeth Warren charged Scott Brown is part of a Republican war on women. Do you agree, or is this just a stunt?
U.S. Sen. Scott Brown has opened up a lead over challenger Elizabeth Warren in a new poll released Tuesday. Public Policy Polling has Brown over Warren by five points. Voters go to the polls on Nov. 6. On the stump, however, Warren's on the offensive, saying Brown and the Republican party are waging a war on women. She's pointed to comments by Missouri Senate hopeful Todd Akin as the latest evidence of that war. Akin has been roundly condemned by liberals and conservatives alike for his statement that it's rare for women to become pregnant after a "legitimate rape." Akin has apologized and attempted to clarify his statement, saying he meant "forcible rape." Brown has publicly called on Akin to drop out of the race, and asked that the …

No. I don't believe that at all. Women are more than just abortion consumers and we need what men need. Jobs and a better business climate. I am a democrat, but this is stupid. I actually like Brown and will vote for him. more ›
